 ## Ports
 It is usually necessary to expose certain container ports on one or more the host's addresses to allow incoming connections.

+Any ports defined in the Docker compose file are exposed by default with random port assignments, bound to "any" interface (IP address 0.0.0.0), but the port mappings can be
 customized by editing the "spec" file generated by `laconic-so deploy init`.
 
 In this example, ports `8545` and `5052` have been assigned to a specific addresses/port combination on the host, while

+In addition, a stack-wide port mapping "recipe" can be applied at the time the

+| Recipe | Host Port Mapping |

 ## Data volumes
 Container data volumes are bind-mounted to specified paths in the host filesystem.
 The default setup (generated by `laconic-so deploy init`) places the volumes in the `./data` subdirectory of the deployment directory:
